Based on this thread, I did some research. Seems that in CA, you don't even need a college degree to sit for the 'baby bar'.

That's interesting. I'm graduating soon with an A.S. in Paralegal Studies, so if I understand correctly, With my A.S. in Paralegal Studies, I could take California's Baby Bar Exam, and start Law School?

Interesting book Heathen. Scarecrow was saying that you can take the baby bar without obtaining a college degree and that will allow you to sit for the bar exam itself. Usually in order to get into an ABA Approved law school you need a Bachelor's degree.

Scarecrow--that's great that you want to practice in the federal system. I practice in the federal system a little bit, it's not cheap. Good luck with everything!

A while ago i posted a few replies in regards to the sovereignty movement. I hereby repeal those posts as new information has come to light. I now understand why those who go into court get railroaded in the courts, when using the things posted by those in that movement. I now know that those who enter such documents into the court, are seen as imbeciles, and the court officers recognize that these men/women have no idea what they're doing, and so they hit these people hard.

A man has been brought to my attention who has been getting actual results in the US, Canada, and England. He has been able to get children returned to their parents (live testimonials included in talkshoe calls), fathers to no longer pay the state an accounting fee to the state for child support and pay directly to mother, and other issues. This man is called Karl Lentz, and he never places documents into a state court case, nor speaks in court save to ask for "pen, paper, and leave of court" to answer any and all questions properly. His answers are to the court are really no more than - is there a man or woman with a verifiable claim that i have done wrong/owe a debt?

He also writes letters to the men or women who have trespassed on his property (not just land) or interfered with his rights. If the wrong doers do not let their complaints go, or satisfy their debts, he files a claim (not a complaint) under common law with the "Lentz court" AT the local or federal district courthouse, a public building, open to the public anytime, so long as you know how to demand access to it.

In civil law, your opponent law firms will rely on dirty tricks with plausible deniability -- such as failing to send you a notice. When you catch those, they settle into cut-and-paste laziness, relying on computers to write documents and find the correct precedents. They hope the blanks stay correctly filled and the right citations are carried forward through all the later revisions. Almost all torts are settled before trial. Of the remainder, most are settled before judgment. For the few cases that terminate with a ruling, prepare to be deeply disappointed with the near-total disinterest and bumbling incompetence of judges who set bad precedents.

Almost all criminal suits are plea bargained, and result in a confusing minute in court for the charged. Police and prosecutors routinely tack on superfluous charges so that plea bargaining only benefits the court by minimizing courtroom procedures; it never benefits defendants by actually generating little to no further penalty for first-time or petty offenses.

Family court destroys families. Hard to recommend.

Bankruptcy court is pretty straightforward. The only reason clients need a lawyer is due to the requirement for a jew with deep pockets to "be responsible" for the agreement. Where in the world would deeply indebted people find a professional bankruptcy patron in a hurry if not through a lawyer?

Take it from a lawyer: The ONLY thing that law school will get you in this day and age is a mountain of debt that can never be erased. Pick something - anything - other than law school. I a doing all I can to warn you peeps. You would be wise to listen to someone on this subject who has been there and done that.

My son ( age 14 ) wants to go into polotics, and we have been looking into studying political science followed up with law school. I have been very concerned about the expense and real value of law school. His goal is polotics, any recomendations on best paths to get him there?

Have him start by going to City and County Commission Meetings. Have him volunteer for any Youth Commission, or Regular Commission that allows Youths. If he has the time, have him volunteer for any election campaign. It doesn't really matter what, local, county, state, federal. Just get involved. He can do that from high school. True, most of what he will be doing will be free grunt labor, but at 14 that's probably all he is good for anyway. He will see how its down from the ground up. Try to do several jobs. Clerical, Canvasser, PR, Organizer, etc. So that he can actually get experience. No point in stuffing envelops for 6 months. As he gets older, try to get him internships with the City Council, or County Supervisors. Anything to get him face time with the process. At some point he will, if he impresses anyone, get a paid gig of some type.
